Why Sugarcane Bagasse Tableware is Ideal for Outdoor UK Catering Events

Summer in the UK is all about relaxed picnics and outdoor parties. However, these events generate a substantial amount of waste, particularly plastic. One way to reduce this is by switching from single-use plastics to sustainable tableware options. One popular option to consider is sugarcane bagasse.

Sugarcane bagasse tableware is derived from the fibrous residue left after sugarcane juice extraction, converting agricultural waste into fully compostable plates, bowls, and trays. These products decompose naturally within 60-90 days, offering a stark contrast to single-use plastics that persist in landfills for centuries or paper goods that often rely on tree harvesting. FOOGO Green’s tableware is free from harmful substances like PFAS and BPA, ensuring safety for users and the environment. By selecting our bagasse products, event organisers and caterers support the UK’s transition to sustainable practices, especially as regulations tighten around single-use plastics.

Durability

Outdoor catering events, such as festivals, weddings, or corporate picnics, demand tableware that performs reliably under varied conditions. 

Sugarcane bagasse is exceptionally durable and capable of holding substantial portions of heavy or saucy foods, such as roasts or curries, without bending or leaking. Its resistance to oil and water makes it suitable for a diverse range of menus, from greasy street food to fresh salads. 

Additionally, FOOGO Green’s tableware is microwave-safe and maintains structural integrity across hot and cold temperatures, accommodating everything from warm soups to chilled desserts. Lightweight yet robust, our designs are easy to transport, simplifying logistics for outdoor settings.

Modern Aesthetics

Visual appeal is essential for creating memorable event experiences. FOOGO Green’s sugarcane bagasse tableware features a sleek, minimalist design with a natural, creamy white finish that complements various event themes, from rustic gatherings to formal celebrations. 

The material’s subtle texture lends an organic elegance, enhancing the presentation of food.

Our versatile product range includes options like three-compartment plates for food festivals and clamshell containers for takeaways, all customisable to reflect your brand. This blend of functionality and style ensures that FOOGO Green’s tableware enhances the sophistication of any outdoor event.

Cost Efficiency and Practicality

For catering businesses, aligning sustainability with operational efficiency is critical. Sugarcane bagasse tableware is cost-effective, leveraging the abundance of sugarcane fibre to keep production expenses manageable. 

FOOGO Green offers bulk wholesale purchasing options (Find our vendor catalogue here), allowing businesses to access premium, eco-friendly tableware without financial strain. 

Post-event, our products can be composted, breaking down into nutrient-rich soil within months, which eliminates the need for washing or complex waste sorting. This streamlines cleanup for outdoor events, reduces waste management costs, and ensures compliance with the UK’s stringent regulations on single-use plastics.

Conclusion

There are many eco-friendly dinnerware options in the market, and sugarcane bagasse is one of the best. However, we suggest that you conduct your own research. First, note down the requirements of your guests, the dishes you will be serving, the location of your event, and your waste disposal plan.
